while scuffing Dugan's boy. youth OF
seventeen years, came out of the house
with revolver as Long as your arm, and
proceeded to aid his patornal ancestor in
the encounter. by dealing Marshal several
hard blows over the head. The female

Twelith-The National party
points with pride to the mainten-
ance of the integrity of the Chero-
kce nation, the advancement in
knowledge and personal wealth of
its citizens, the judicious manage
ment of its finances and the grand
recognition it has obtained of the
rights of the Cherokee Nation in
the district and supreme courts of
the United States under the pres
ent administration. With such u
record and with the declarati IN of
principles herein reiterated it can
justly claim the continued support
of the people of the Cherokee Ma
tion, and now confidently invites
all classes of voters to join them

election on the first Monday in

in land we consider safer and bet
ter than any. BY natural increase
and adoption our population is rap

growth.
Seventh.--W look upon the
introduction and operation of rail
roads in our country without
our consent rs a great in
fringcment upon our rights and a
violation of treaty stipulation
Eighth.--We favor an economical
administration of our affairs to the
end that our public funds may not
be squandered, but used rs neces-
sity may demand and to the best
interest of the people. In many
instances nation must be liberal
but not wastcful.
Ninth.-We look upon farming
and stock raising as our greatest
resources for the accumulation of
wealth. We are therefore decided
ly in favor of encouraging those
two branches of industry.
Tenth.-We are in favor of in.
creasing our internal revenue to its
greatest capacity so as not to iniure
our general welfare. The tax on
our grazing privileges, on hay, tim

First We cheerfullv submit TO

Second.-Our first and great OBJ
iect will be to maintain our present

Third.--We favor progress and
the use of our resources to the best
advantage of the Cherokee people,
TO the end that industry and enter

Fourth Education and cnlighten-
ment must ever be the great aim of
the Cherokee people. We obligate
ourselves to use our best endeavors

Fiith-One great object of the
Cherokee nation must be TO keep
peace and friendship among her
own citizens. This government
and her institutions must be main
tanned by the united effort of our
people. We therefore guarantee
equal justice TO all citizens and
every right guaranteed to them
under our laws, constitution and
treaties, the different classes, viz
Cherokees by blood, Shavnees,
Delawares, Freedmen, Creeks and
Adopted Whites. We recognize
the fact that the destiny of our
country rests in the hands OF this
entire people. Our great purpose
will be TO make every citizen feel

AN OUTSIDE VIEW.

The ChctGpa Statesman talk es
the following view Of cattle mat
ters in this nation: "Dispatchcs to
the daily papers have referred to
the importation of 1900 cattle in
to the Indian Territory from Texas
this spring, and it is boastingly
added that this is a great thing ful
the territory. 1t may he big
thing for members of the cattle
ring, but it is a serious menace to
thousands of smai farmers who are
scattered over the territory. 4
large portion of these cattle were
shipped in so late in the month of
April that they are sure to bring
the dreaded and fatal Texas fever
with them. They are driven
across or pastured on the ranges Of
the native cattle, and leave infec-
ton and death in their trail. The
resident small farmers, who may
be raising ten or n hundred head
of cattle, now see their herds swept
of by the dozen or score, and are
powerless to obtain any redress.
A few years ago cattle from Texas
could not be shippedinto the Cher
okee nation after the last day of
March. This was a safe period,
and protected the average farmer.
But the cattle ring captured the
Cherokee council and got the time
extended one month. Now they
can ship cattle bearing the fatal
infection with them, and scatter
death and poverty over their hon
est neighbors. tits not right, and
the farmers would be justified
in employing effective measures
for their own protection. ;"
